The entertainment industry gives us the opportunity to live experiences, events that we are not willing to try ourselves through the media eye. Abstract thinking is annihilated and current events are ingested without stopping. Two spectators are emptying their minds via supersaturation with meaningless visual elements. Do they keep on watching or do they withdraw?

‘Between our Hands’
Zierle & Carter

Between our Hands explores notions of belonging and ‘non belonging’, of home and of desolation, bringing focus to what actions it takes to move from a space of non belonging back into a place of belonging. A process unfolds, an action of shedding and tearing away the ‘wasteland’, of journeying and reconstructing a sense of home.
Zierle & Carter’s work has been widely exhibited internationally throughout Europe, Canada, United States, South America, Australia, in Asia and Africa.

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Together with some people, we will use the kitchen to cook aubergines. We plan to make a salad. We will make a fire at 14:00. From 15:00 to 17:00 we will grill the aubergines, and peel them after eachone is done. Till 21:00 we will let them drain and then mince them till 21:30. If everything goes well, acording to the plan, the salad will be served at 21:30. Feel free to join any stage of the process, and if you think there wont be enought salad for everyone, bring your own aubergine.
